Testing a water pill to reduce leftover kidney stone fragments
Treatments studied
Part of Kidney & urinary, Women’s health & pregnancy clinical trials.
This Phase 3 study tests whether using a “water pill” called furosemide during a flexible scope procedure helps leave fewer kidney-stone fragments behind. It may help reduce the chance of needing additional treatment later.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

This trial tests if using a flexible tube with a laser (FURS) plus special suction (FANS) is better for breaking up and removing stones from the lower part of the kidney. It may help you if you have stones there and are scheduled for a procedure.
This trial tests a new device called VISOR to help break up kidney stones using a flexible tube and laser. It's for adults aged 18–80 with stones between 1 and 3 cm who haven't had previous kidney surgery.
This trial tests a supplement called Neorenal Forte to help clear tiny leftover kidney stone pieces after laser surgery. If you have small fragments left after your procedure, this study may help you get rid of them.
This study compares two ways to remove kidney stones: one uses a special scope to see and break up stones with a laser, and the other is a newer method. If you have stones up to 3 centimeters, this trial might help your doctor choose the safest and most effective approach.
This study tests whether the water pill furosemide can help remove certain toxins from the blood in people with chronic kidney disease (CKD stages 3-5) who are starting this medicine as part of their regular care.
This trial is testing whether changing the amount of water and suction used during a standard kidney stone surgery can help clear stones better and more safely. If you have a moderate-sized kidney stone, your doctors will use one of two water flow settings during the procedure to see which works best.
